Swing When Your Winning

Straighten Up And Fly Right

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back,
The monkey grabbed his neck and said,
"Now listen, Jack..."

Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin',
What's the use in jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey,
You're chokin' me
Release your hold and I'll set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said,
"Your story's so touching, but it sounds just like a lie."

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top

Fly right!
